Question 6250
The foot brake — which wheels does it act on?
- On all four wheels.
- On the front wheels.
- On the drive wheels.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: On all four wheels.
In a passenger car, the foot brake, or service brake, acts on all four wheels at once, whether they are drive wheels or not. During braking, the front wheels do most of the work, but the rear wheels also brake. In the image, the right foot is pressing the middle pedal, which is the brake pedal.
